Many injury victims are upset that they suffered harm in a place where they were seeking medical help from what they considered to be professionals. These settings are much like any other medical facility or doctor’s office and should have the highest level of care and cleaning to ensure the safety of patients. Even more upsetting is that these are often patients who are highly emotional because of the challenges they face. It is not uncommon for there to be delicate discussions, stress, and tears on these visits that can result in patients and their loved ones being very emotional when walking around the care areas. So, you would assume the staff and maintenance teams would pay close attention to any safety hazards that could be dangerous, yet a bit less obvious when the patients are possibly distracted and emotional. Some of the hazards that often cause these sad injury incidents include:

• Liquids that are spilled on the floor but not quickly cleaned up
• Food or drinks that are dropped but not cleaned up
• Tissues, paper, or other litter dropped on the floor but not picked up
• Overly full trash cans that allow paper and litter to fall onto the floor
• Vacuum hoses or extension cords left in walkways
• Damaged or uneven flooring surfaces
• Loose or damaged carpet
• Poorly lit or dark areas in hallways or rooms due to malfunctioning or broken lights
• Steps or ramps with damaged or missing safety handrails
• Damaged steps
• Water pipes or hoses are leaking onto the floors
• Clogged drains are backing up onto the floors
• Malfunctioning plumbing fixtures are creating wet floors
• Missing, damaged, or saturated floor mats at entrances or areas known to be moist

Sadly, the accident injuries often sustained by patients or guests at California fertility clinics are easily preventable if the staff were fully focused on the safety of guests and eliminating common slip and fall or trip and fall hazards. But when the focus is not on the safety of clients and their loved ones, someone is likely to suffer one or more of these common injuries that can be very costly, painful, and even life-altering:

• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or delicate skin on the face
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that can be further complicated by internal bleeding and damage to internal organs
• Head injuries range from a skull fracture or severe concussion to a brain bleed or other traumatic brain injuries
• Soft tissue injuries that include damage or destruction of nerve tissue
• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Complete joint dislocations and the destruction of the soft connective tissue of the joint
• Partial or complete amputations

It is possible for a person to trip and fall just because they were upset and not walking carefully. It is also possible to get your feet tangled when you are distracted and fall. Of course, these issues are not to be blamed on the fertility clinic. However, when there is a safety issue that the staff at the clinic fails to correct, they are to blame when a patron gets hurt. For example, if the staff at the facility were aware of spilled water or a leaking water line that was flooding or even just dampening floors, they are required under premises liability law to correct the hazard in a reasonable amount of time. If they fail to take action to correct the issue or close the space to guest traffic, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care to guests. When it is discovered that the staff failed to take action and their negligence caused or contributed to the harm of a guest or patient, the facility or its owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses of the injury victim.

If you feel that the injuries you suffered at the California fertility clinic were caused by negligence on the part of the staff, please reach out to the legal team at DTLA Law Group. We will evaluate the case and let you know if you have grounds for a lawsuit and how to proceed if you wish to file a lawsuit. In addition, our staff will take on the case and work diligently to ensure you get the justice and compensation you deserve.

It is critical that all personal injury victims understand that each lawsuit is different and its value will be unique. There are no predetermined compensation amounts given by the court in personal injury cases. Instead, each case is carefully and independently evaluated, and the potential compensation amount is determined based on the actual losses and expenses of the injury victim. Working with your legal team at DTLA Law Group, you will compile all the documentation to confirm your allowable expenses used in this process, which often include but are not always limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the injury incident
• The cost of all medical care related to diagnosing and treating the harm caused by the injury incident, as well as any rehabilitation or therapy needed to address the injuries or stress created by the incident
• The cost of all legal services and expenses related to preparing, filing, and litigating your California fertility clinic personal injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the harm suffered in the injury incident at the fertility clinic prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed and cleared by your medical care provider to return to work.

In cases that result in significant injuries and require a lengthy recovery time, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount like a medical bill, your legal team will help you select a fair and reasonable amount for this aspect of the compensation based on recently resolved cases with similar injuries and details.

As a personal injury victim, you have two years from the date of the injury incident to file your lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed when that time limit has passed, you lose the right to seek compensation for your losses and expenses. In addition, if DTLA Law Group does not achieve a positive outcome and get you the compensation you deserve, you owe the firm nothing. Please reach out to the caring staff at DTLA Law Group today to discuss the time remaining for you to file a lawsuit and secure the compensation and justice you deserve.

When you hire DTLA Law Group to handle your California fertility clinic personal injury lawsuit, we never require any upfront payments. Instead, we handle any case with legal merit, cover all costs and expenses, and only get paid once the matter has been resolved and you have the compensation, including funds to cover your legal fees and other expenses. In addition, if DTLA Law Group does not achieve a positive outcome and get you the compensation you deserve, you owe the firm nothing. Please reach out to the office staff at DTLA Law Group as quickly as possible to learn more about this very viable option to help you cover the cost of your medical bills and other losses that were caused by the negligence of the staff at a fertility clinic you were visiting.
